Warframe – Bound across the void

So this is a Warframe fanfic and pretty much every character is gonna be an OC. Everything but that, I don't own but I'm pretty sure that goes without saying. So this fanfic is set before the events of the Sacrifice and is my second attempt at this concept so enjoy

Azaleah POV

My vision is blurred. I can't see anything but figures. They looked like tenno but not. And where am I? This isn't anywhere within the origin system that's for sure. The not tennos, they're smiling at me but why and what are they saying? Their faces are coming into focus. Their faces becoming clearer. They gesture for me to come. I try to run to them but I can't something is holding me back. The void perhaps. Then a rip cord abruptly pulls me from them.

I awoke face to face with a masked tenno. The void demon! He tilted his head so like the gentleman I am, I head butt him. Hey you wake me up at your own risk. I jumped out of my bed, grabbed my amp and void dashed into the demon, pinning him against the door to the helminth. I charge my amp, the void demon may elude me but not this time, he won't escape and I will have answers.

I grit my teeth "Demon what was that? It wasn't a dream, a vision but of what?"

The demon finally spoke "Honestly I was going to ask you the same thing, mind letting me go?" It asked but something was off about it's voice. This isn't the void demon.

"Sazer?" I asked depowering my amp but still holding his throat. The hood disappeared to reveal a shit eating grinning tenno, yup that's Sazer. I released his throat.

"Nothing gets by you pal" he mocked while on his knees catching his breath.

"Why are you on my ship?" I asked helping him up.

"Your cephalon, Ordis contacted me, saying something was wrong with you, something about transference spikes" okay definitely not a weird dream then.

"At first I thought it was a glitch in that cephalon of yours but when I came you were radiating void energy" he continued "Then you assaulted me".

I grinned bashfully "Sorry about that, thought you were that annoying void demon"

"Next time no freebies Aza" he said "Besides we've got a mission to do anyways and no amount of beauty sleep is fixing you so stop trying"

"hmm. I don't remember hearing about any important missions"

"Well it's not urgent" I started walking back to my quarters "buuttt" he called over "it's a gift of the lotus" this caught my attention. I turned back round smirk on my face "that's all you had to say".

"So you're on board, good because it's on the kuva fortress, that place gives me the creeps, anyways it's a spy mission for an orokin reactor and a hefty credit cache. So grab your Ash and I'll meet you outside the fortress"

"Excuse me? Loki is a better frame and you know it" I retorted.

"Agree to disagree?" he asked hopefully.

"Only when you admit I'm right" I stated adamantly.

"Whatever, see you in 15" clearly recognising my pure rightness and changing the topic to save face.

He vanished and I saw his liset fly off.

"Ordis, set a course for the Kuva fortress and prepare the following equipment: Loki Prime, Paris Prime and my Lacera" I commanded while fastening my amp and heading to the archwing bay grabbing my itzaal.

Once I was fully equipped, I jumped out of my landing craft using blink to get past the asteroid field and rendezvous with Sazer in his classic black and red ash. "Took you long enough" he said arms crossed

"Dude I just woke up, give it a rest" I could tell he was smirking under the helmet. "So what's the plan Sazer?"

"Two guards guarding the entrance, from there I'll take vault A, you take vault B and we'll meet up outside vault C. Then we run like hell and hope either of our cephalons actually does their job".

"And this is why I'm the planner, hot head" He ignored my comment and motioned to the guards. I nodded. I switch teleported with one putting us both in prime position to kill the guards. I threw my lacera at the lancer and yanked him over to me before grabbing it and snapping it's neck. Sazer was slightly less kind. He quickly slashed his guard across the hips, leaving him legless and pinned him to a passing asteroid before teleporting over to me.

"You could've at least killed him" I mused.

"Hey he'll die eventually" he snickered.

"Let's just go and pretend I didn't see that".

He nodded and we ran our separate ways to our vaults.

Sazer POV

I don't really bother cloaking before I get to my vault. If anyone sees me it's their funeral, not mine. Azaleah is slightly different. He thinks less conflict is better, something about standing, mess, effort, ammo yada yada yada I just wanna kill. I ran into the corridor and came face to face with two kuva lancers. I said hi, I waved and they still shoot at me so I had to act in self defence like any self respecting man.

I bullet jumped into one knocking him to the ground and drew an arrow in order to stab his buddy. Hey he didn't leave me time to draw the bow but the grounded one is. I notched an arrow and shot him with the same arrow that killed his friend.

While I relished in my victory I noticed a disgusting smell. Smells like sewer rats, grinner and charcoal. I flipped the stinking fireblade grineer over my shoulder before walking over to one of the dead lancers, plucking out the arrow and throwing it at the recovering fireblade. "How's that for ammo efficiency Azaleah?" I said proud of my work. I sprinted off to my vault killing every grineer in my path with my ballistica prime.

I showed up to my vault to find it already open and looted. Eh less work for me I thought as I turned round to see a smug Loki. "Wrong vault man" I said.

"I had some time to kill you sadist" Azaleah said bluntly.

He tried to stare me down before his warframe started shaking and we both broke into laughter. "I never seen you pass me" I just realised.

"Benefits of actually cloaking Sazer" Azaleah said "That and watching you work"

"Enjoy it then" I questioned.

"Yeah I especially enjoyed the part where you emptied your ballistica after saying and I quote, how's that for ammo efficiency" He said like the smug bastard he can be. I looked down at the ground before he passed a clip at me.

"Can't have you without a weapon can we?" He said.

"You're not getting this back" I said loading it into my gun.

"Think I expected to, I'm not picking my rounds back up" he retorted probably referencing that one time I stole his arrows and he had to retrieve all 72 of them.

"So C next?" I asked surprised he hadn't done that one as well upon checking the HUD.

"After you" he said while gesturing to the door in a pompous fashion. So I scoffed and pushed him down. He fell like a clumsy idiot and then the doors slammed shat shut. He sprang back up.

"Sazer what did you do" he pretty much accused.

"I didn't do anything, think I want to be here longer?" I yelled defensively.

Then our HUDS started flicking red and we looked at each other with sighs of relief.

"Okay we good? Just the stalker" I called over to him.

"Remember the drill, grab the sword from his stingy ass and kill him" he said clearly infuriated he hasn't managed to get the war yet. I smirked in response waving my war in his face. He glared at me. We then looked ahead to see his smoky ass standing in front of us brandishing his war.

We grinned-well I grinned, I'm sure Azaleah did too- and charged forward. Stalker retaliated by swinging his sword at me. I stepped backwards and watched him swing in vain at me before taking an arrow to the side, courtesy of Azaleah. In this moment I taken the opportunity to get my own hits in, drawing Ash's arm mounted blades and stabbing the stalker. He emitted red energy throwing me back and as I recovered, I looked to see Azaleah laughing his ass off before leaning against a wall. "C'mon Sazer, it's only Stalker hurry up"

"I don't see you doing anything"

"You need help with that guy?" he mused.

I grunted in response before dashing at Stalker, ducking and jumping over his sword waves before kicking him in the chest.

"You see that" I yelled.

"Don't get too cocky" he advised before tilting his head behind me. I felt an impact hit me as Stalker tackled me. So now we're all on the ground. I managed to kick Stalker off me and Azaleah is on the floor laughing his ass off.

"Shut it Azaleah" I called, getting up and drawing my bow.

"Oh finally, maybe you might kill him this time" I ignored him and fired at the Stalker hearing his grunts of pain satisfies me but not as much as wiping the smirk off Azaleah's face would. The Stalker recovered and taken a swing at me as I stood patiently waiting for his sword to get close enough to actually be a threat.

Azaleah's POV

Okay my patience is wearing thin, I switch teleported with Sazer (dick move I know) and found myself face to face with Stalker. "Boo" he seemed startled so I punched him in the face and grabbed his sword, ripping it out of his hands. "Thanks" I smirked "Been wanting this for a while". I prepared to test the sword on it's wielder before it vanished from my hands and the Stalker glowed purple. I taken a few steps back incredibly confused.

"What're you waiting for?" I heard Sazer yell as he charged Stalker before being consumed with blue light and vanishing.

"SAZER!" I screamed. What the hell? Where is he? I became consumed with anger and charged the Stalker before my Warframe vanished leaving me in my tenno form.

"Oh shit" I groaned, the Stalker's sentient infused abilities could very easily kill me like this.

"Azaleah, the second dream calls you" a voice emanated from the Stalker but it wasn't him.

"What are you on about?" I demanded charging up my void beam.

"You have unfinished business there, a broken vow" the voice rasped.

"Bullshit. I don't even know a thing about the second dream" I yelled unleashing a void beam but it was negated by his aura as I was drawn closer to him to the point where Stalker had my throat. "Heed my warning". And it threw me out the room, the door locking again.

Well nothing better than getting your ass handed to you by Stalker, cryptic messages, losing War and being faced by an army of angry grineer without your amp or transference, yeah things are going great. "Don't suppose you feel like rescheduling?"

"TENNO SKOOOMMM" Guess that answers my question, so I vault behind a barricade hoping to the void that my Warframe returns.

Sazer's POV

Well this is shit, I have been sitting in this empty room for ages. Wait a minute, is that Teshin? I approached him.

"Teshin. Good to see a friendly face, hey you know what the hell is going on?"

He turned round slowly before emitting purple energy and grabbing my suddenly non-warframe clad throat.

"Is this because I commanded you to hand over the conclave rewards when I got the Kuva sceptre?"

He stared at me.

"That was a joke man, but for real, thanks for those".

He continued to stare.

"Seriously man, no one does conclave, it's bloody boring, hate to be the one to break it to you, but that's no reason for whatever this is".

Still staring? Okay. Try this. I unleashed a void blast followed by a void beam with all the energy I had. When it was over I saw him still staring. Seriously nothing?

"Little tenno you presume to be able to harm me"

"Kinda yeah" I groaned before charging my fist with void energy and charging at the sanctimonious bastard. He shoulder bashed me to the floor before holding his nikana towards me.

"Listen child, quell your anger for the good of your friend" Teshin said slowly and deliberately.

I growled before prompting him to continue speaking.

Okay so that's it for this chapter. This is my second attempt at this concept and frankly I think I've done it better this time around but please feel free to tell me otherwise if you don't think so, any review helps me to get an idea of how I'm doing so thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed.
